Sorry.

Sorry I told you so.

Sorry, even I didn't expect 1-4 just yet.

Sorry you get another season of the National League.

Sorry all those players on the comeback trail was an April Fool. I think we did it to worry Grimsby about their tactics. That worked well then.

Even Killing Eve didn't cheer me up last night.

And tonight God will kill a few Shelbys and let Oswald Moseley live.

Accounts delayed...... More trouble brewing??

Just announced by Hun media that Morelos is definitely out of this potential "league decider" for the Hoops. It also looks like they are gonna field Aaron Ramsay who I reckon is definitely not a fully fit player and has previously been diagnosed as having weak muscle issues. A hi-press, frenetic match is in order then from a Celtic point of view or just "nail him" early doors! That ploy will quickly probe and find out where he is in the fitness stakes! I'll be watching with great interest what potentially monumental ref decision will be "pulled" to "keep them in the chase for the Scot Prem title. A dodgy red card? A dodgy pk with the usual Hun experts/pundits professing it was undoubtedly justified!!??? Remember this is an existential moment coming up where they would literally "kill" or bribe certain people to gain access to the Euro Champs League because they are undeniably still hugely in debt and they crave ECL involvement. Perhaps the assigned referee (Golum in this case) should've been realistically replaced by an independent one from another footie league? However, that would be setting a precedent! Celtic and Ange couldn't ask for any greater motivation to be playing such a match at this stage of the season with a three point lead and GD advantage that is worth another extra point. It looks like Kyogo may be fit, but whether he is match fit is debatable TBH! A lotta predictions being made by the "usual suspects", but ultimately this is about what happens on the pitch and who "takes in the pressure and enormity of this match"! IMO a hi-press and pacy strategy through the middle of their defence will pay huge dividends - study previous matches where they have been "unhinged" by teams that beat them with sheer pace and others that should've similarly beaten them, but profligate in front of McGregor's goal and indeed "missing sitters"!! An intriguing match looming ever closer and they need to "open up" and win it. A case of "who wants it most" as long as a so called impartial referee doesn't try to change the course of a match in some improper manner!! Deja vu!!

You couldn't make it up, but it provides a huge fillip to the Scotland players and the Tartan Army to get into Group B. The Wales fans and management will be thinking the same way. I think our full Scotland line up will be stronger than what Wales will provide against us - the "new kid on the block" hopefully appearing finally over the horizon with a decent group of maturing young players backed up by a good few top players. However, there's work to do before the play-off final takes place. ONE STEP AT A TIME - A SEMI-FINAL CHALLENGE TO NEGOTIATE OR NOT???? Bizarrely, we still don't really know when the final will be played either - June or September??? An absolute disgrace IMO!!

Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands
Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales/Scotland/Ukraine
Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland
Group D: France, UAE/Australia/Peru, Denmark, Tunisia
Group E: Spain, Costa Rica/New Zealand, Germany, Japan
Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia
Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon
Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea

Re the  draw itself, some "tasty" group games to be played out in the 1st phase of this tourney. IMO Germany the one to watch with great interest this time around. The Netherlands a definite "dark horse" with a strengthened defence this time. France never a country to dismiss either, but Denmark in the the same group D is a rapidly improving international side that could well advance quite far as well.
Re playing in Qatar itself, still some real moral dilemmas that can't be ignored by lotsa sporting people re the high cost in lives to provide this World Cup tournament plus their human rights violations. As usual, sports/footie exceptionalism prevails amid a lotta "talking a good game" while competing anyway!
